The Three Kingdoms: The Cold Gate World

Chapter 210
The next day, Cao Cao came to the Luoyang barracks.

His soldiers and horses were stationed separately from Yuan Shao's. After all, they were in different camps. Even though they were allies at this time, they had to be clearly distinguished.

The orderly and vigorous shouting in the school grounds was deafening, and the general in armor stood aside to personally supervise the soldiers' drills.

Compared with Yuan Shao's soldiers and horses who came all the way from Hebei and were recuperating recently, Cao Cao's soldiers and horses insisted on training every day without any slack.

Soldiers were meticulous in their drills, Cao Cao was rigorous in running the army, and his generals followed suit, and the training of his generals was also no joke.

These [-] soldiers and horses are indeed Cao Cao's elite soldiers. Xiahou Dun, who came with Cao Cao this time, is the general who supervises the drill.

Wearing armor, Xiahoudun is extremely powerful, and Xiahou Dun's momentum is majestic, and one eye is covered by an eyepatch, which is quite intimidating.

That eye was lost when Xiahou Dun was shot by Liu Ya during the battle when Lu Bu attacked Yanzhou.

It can be seen from this that Xiahou Dun took the lead and fought on the battlefield, completely disregarding his personal life.

Cao Cao's arrival did not disturb the awe-inspiring atmosphere of the school grounds. Xiahou Dun saluted Cao Cao and handed over the matter of military training to his subordinate generals, and then walked towards the commander's tent with Cao Cao.

There is someone in the tent, Xia Houyuan.

He was holding the book of war in his hand and studying it carefully. He raised his head when he heard footsteps, and saw Cao Cao and Xiahou Dun following behind him.

"Lord."

After Cao Cao nodded slightly, he walked to the main seat and sat down without exchanging greetings, and went straight to the point.

"Things are as I expected. Yuan Benchu ​​ordered me to fight Wuguan, but I didn't go there personally, but I entrusted this task to you two. Everything, just proceed according to the previous plan."

After Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan looked at each other, they didn't look excited, on the contrary, they were a little bit depressed.

Cao Cao saw the expressions of the two of them and knew that they were dissatisfied.

Someone needs to do this job.

"Remember, to attack Wuguan, you only need to create momentum. If Hangu Pass is not breached, you two need to set up troops to the east of Wuguan to create a confrontational situation."

After Cao Cao gave the order, Xiahou Dun and Xiahou Yuan clasped their fists together to accept the military order.

To a certain extent, military generals prefer straight-forward battles between the two armies. Only the thrilling battles on the battlefield can make their blood boil. Compared with generals and soldiers, sometimes it seems to be like literati exchanging talents, which is a little less Divide the man's pride.

It's just that war is not always a fight between thugs in the city. The reason why a famous general is a famous general is that he is superior in wisdom. Xiang Yu's name as the overlord has shocked the ancient and modern, but he lost the country that was at his fingertips.

After Cao Cao issued the military order, he returned to his residence in the city, but he got the news that Yuan Shao had begun to send troops to attack Hangu Pass. Yuan Shao did not go there in person, but sent Zhang Jai and Chun Yuqiong to lead [-] troops each. The flags of Yuan and Cao were placed on the horse banner.

It is impossible not to use the banner of Cao Cao. After all, Yuan Shao was invited by Cao Cao, and the war must be fought in the name of Cao Cao.

It will not do without erecting Yuan Shao's banner, because Zhang Jai and Chun Yuqiong are the leaders of the battle, and they are both Yuan Shao's generals. People should not mistakenly think that these two men and the soldiers belong to Cao Cao.

This was all Yuan Shao's subjective actions. Cao Cao shook his head when he learned about it, and said to Xun You: "Yuan Benchu ​​went to attack Hangu Pass with great fanfare. I really don't understand why he is in a hurry? My soldiers and horses haven't arrived at Wuguan yet, but he Move first, Guo Jia will definitely reinforce Wuguan after hearing the news, he is doing a disservice."

Xun You smiled without saying a word, sometimes Yuan Shao's self-righteous things can be ridiculous.

But this time, it is not guaranteed that Yuan Shao and Cao Cao have the same mind, and they all want to trip the other party secretly.

Because Yuan Shao and Cao Cao stationed troops in Luoyang, the people in Guanzhong were panic-stricken. There was no right or wrong among the princes, there was only peace and war. The people didn't care whether Guo Jia should be crusaded or not, they only cared about whether there would be peace in Guanzhong.

Except for the Hongnong and Hedong counties mapped by Hanguguan, which have completely declared that it is impossible to resume production this spring, the counties and counties around Sansuke are still speeding up the pace of recovery in an orderly manner.

At this moment, it is the time when the intellectuals are working hard, and the level of practical ability is fully reflected at this time.

Whether they can appease the people in an emergency is a test of the ability of a local parent official.

Guo Qi was transferred to Chang'an. As a senior official in Chang'an of Yushitai, his most important task recently was to inspect the achievements of officials from all over the country in Chang'an.

One spring, just in time for the war, whether you can secure your official position depends on your ability.

According to common sense, if Guo Jia didn't return to Yizhou to protect himself, he should at least stay in Chang'an City, but he ordered his army to leave Chang'an and go east to Zheng County, intending to set up camp in Zheng County.

His purpose is very simple. On the one hand, it is to prevent the flames of war from reaching Sansuke, and on the other hand, he made a decision based on the location of the final battle he planned. Moreover, the distance between Zheng County and Hangu Pass and Wuguan can reduce the information back and forth by one point. day.

Armored and heroic, Guo Jia rode on the Flame Steed and led the army out from the east gate of Chang'an.

He transferred all the soldiers and horses away from Chang'an, Chang'an was empty, he didn't care, at this juncture, Chang'an was the same for him.

Yuan Shao and Cao Cao entered Guanzhong, without Hangu Pass, it is equivalent to without Chang'an.

If Han Sui and Ma Teng took the opportunity to attack, as long as they conquered Chen Cang and cut off Guo Jia's food supply, Chang'an would be left alone and helpless.

Therefore, his soldiers and horses in Guanzhong came out in full force, and it was unwise to divide the troops to defend the city.

In Fufeng County to the west, Wu Ban and Meng Da commanded [-] troops to guard against the two evil wolves in the northwest.

To the east Hangu Pass has Zhang Liao's [-] soldiers and horses, and to the southeast of Wu Pass has Yan Yan's [-] soldiers and horses.

Under Guo Jia's own command, there were [-] Jinfan troops, Xu Chu Dianwei had [-], and [-] were trapped in the camp.

This adds up to a total of [-] soldiers and horses. In fact, only [-] can be used in the battle against Yuan Shao and Cao Cao.

And Yuan Shao and Cao Cao add up to 25!
In terms of military strength, the opponent is more than three times stronger than Guo Jia.

Is Guo Jia afraid?I'm afraid I'll have to fight, since a big battle is inevitable no matter what, let's go all out and fight once.

If he wins, he will be the uncrowned king of Kansai, Vega all over the world!

Defeated, he returned to Yizhou in despair, and the dormancy of the past five years was in vain.

The formation is like a dragon, winding long and slowly heading east.

Guo Jia rode his horse beside the army, and there were also three people riding beside him.

Zhen Yu, Zhang Xu, and Zhang Qin came to see them off. At this moment, there was a feeling of "the wind is rustling, the water is cold, and the strong man will never return when he is gone".

Yuan Shao and Cao Cao had so many soldiers and horses, whether Guo Jiashou could hold Guanzhong, the three of them were uncertain.

Seeing the army heading eastward, the three of them were overwhelmed with embarrassment, feeling somewhat pity, more or less thinking that they were going to die.

Gossip aside, business matters.

Zhang Xu cupped his hands towards Guo Jia and said: "The chamber of commerce has already done what the envoy ordered, and all the food and grass have been handed over to Mr. Xu. As for the second thing that the envoy requested, those craftsmen and laborers have also gone to China under the arrangement of Mr. Fa. Yin. The third thing, I have already ordered Zhou Quan, as soon as the war starts, Hebei and Jingzhou will start together."

Perhaps the powerful clans of Yizhou have never worked together with a monarch to resist foreign enemies, and they have no choice but to see that all the money they have invested in Guanzhong is in vain.

The grain and grass they brought were sold to Guo Jia as military rations, and they were still being transported to Chang'an one after another.

They brought craftsman labor to build mansions and shops. Although they didn't know what Guo Jia wanted these people to do, they still obeyed the arrangement and sent them to Huayin. The wages were [-]% higher than usual. After all, Huayin is not far from Tongguan. Further east is Hangu Pass.

Now the wealthy clan in Yizhou has gradually become desperate. If Guo Jia is defeated and Guanzhong is lost, their loss will be unimaginably huge.

Wealth is in danger.

If Guo Jia can survive this hurdle, at least Guo Jia and the Yizhou wealthy family have shared joys and sorrows, the relationship between the two parties can be closer, and the combination of interests will be stronger.

One glory and one glory.

"Everyone who gave you a helping hand today, Jia will remember it for a lifetime."

In all fairness, although Guo Jia knew that the two parties had no relationship to talk about, and if it wasn't for interests, the Yizhou wealthy family would not be able to stand on his side as one, but he still had to remember their friendship.

Remember the goodness of others and forget the faults of others.

There is no enmity that cannot be resolved, and no one is a natural enemy.

Anyway, the rich people in Yizhou now understand that it is better to follow Guo Jia than to follow other princes.

Yuan Shao has a great reputation, and there are many noble families under his command, but it doesn't mean that the Yizhou nobles can live a better life under Yuan Shao's rule. There is no such thing as a high-level group of people at the lower level.

It's like the rising of a new wealthy family in Guanzhong in the future, and its background and power are obviously not as good as those of Yizhou's wealthy family.

"The envoy is serious, the situation is urgent, and I will not delay the time of the envoy. On behalf of the Yizhou Chamber of Commerce, I wish the envoy a successful battle and save Guanzhong from being poisoned by tyrants."

Zhang Xu had a solemn look on his face, and Zhen Yu and Zhang Qin also had nervous expressions.

They are all afraid of war, and they are not profiteers who dream of making money in the country every day. Harmony and wealth are the environment they pursue.

Guo Jia didn't say much, and after returning the salute, he rode away on his horse.

Under the boundless sky, the 4000-man army was full of energy, full of fighting spirit, thinking about approaching from the east.

In Guanzhong, Guo Jia had only four advisers available, Fazheng, Pang Tong, Jia Xu, and Xu Shu.

Xu Shu stayed in Chang'an. Although Chang'an was not fortified, someone needed to maintain the overall situation.

Fazheng was brought by Guo Jia's side and dispatched. Jia Xu went to Hangu Pass, and Pang Tong went to Wuguan.

As for Wu Ban and Meng Da in Fufeng, Guo Jia did not assign counselors to supervise the battle.

Because Ma Teng and Han Suiruo came to attack, Guo Jia didn't need Wu Ban and Meng Da to worry too much. No matter how many people came from the other side, just start a war. To the west, Guo Jia didn't care.

However, the possibility of Ma Teng and Han Sui coming to attack is very small. They are still in chaos within themselves. Whether their territories are enough to keep their troops and horses is still a problem. How about attacking Guanzhong and attacking Guo Jia?Not to mention Cao Cao's instigation, even if the emperor really issued an edict to them, it may not be possible.
